Fashion
From Brit to Liza, Fur Flies for Femmes

Posted Dec 4th 2007 2:02PM by TMZ Staff

Looks like some celebs still aren't hiding from wearing a dead animal -- in the name of fashion.


Even as the anti-fur movement gets more vociferous, TMZ -- in just one weekend -- spotted Britney Spears, Liza Minnelli, Eve, Mary J. Blige, Sharon Stone and even Madonna fur-nished with all manner of fur-ish coats. We're told that Britney proudly took her shagerrific (and very real fur) coat at her birthday party in Bel Air.

PETA, as ever, took Liza to task for her outerwear, telling TMZ in a statement that it "hopes that Liza, who abstained from fur for years, gets back on the wagon of compassion." As for Sharon Stone, the anti-fur brigade was less charitable, saying, "Put your fur coat away, Sharon."

Reps for Eve, Sharon Stone, Liza and Madonna haven't yet gotten back to us about the provenance of their clients' coats.

One notable exception -- Sarah Jessica Parker, wearing a lovely Star Wars-esque fur coat, usually, we're told, wears fake fur.

4. As a Member of PETA (People Eating Tasty Animals) I applaud the fur.
Animals were put on this planet for us to exploit!

6. People have no idea what PETA is all about. If given the opportunity, they'd rather slit the throat of your lovely kitty-kat or puppy dog and KILL them, rather than see them as a "pet." They're SO not what they make themselves out to be. I work for a dog rescue, and boy could I tell you some stories. Once when rescuing dogs from a closed-down shelter, PETA was called to help with the rescue. All dogs were healthy and adoptable. They offered to send an employee there with enough drugs to put all of the animals down. That is how they "help." Uh... no thanks. Freaks.

I'm just saying.

As for the fur thing- before you big mouths start bashing Sharon and Brit, just remember you are probably no different than they are. Anyone wearing leather shoes, carrying a leather wallet or purse, have leather seats in your car, a leather belt etc., etc., or if you take ANY kind of medicine for anything (which is all tested on animals at some point).... then you are just the same as them. So shut up.

9. When I read the comments for pro fur it makes me so sad. I don't know why people are ok with torturing animals. Why are people so selfish and cruel?

10. Oh who cares? I am so sick of these shallow celebs who preach against wearing fur and killing animals, and they could care less about humans killing off each other.

11. And pimp, congratulations for being FIRST. Enjoy your three minutes of fame. The other kindergartners are so jealous.

12. Who is PETA or TMZ to tell people what they should and should not wear? And why does TMZ give PETA a voice?

I do not wear fur, just, well I don't care to. However I am seriously thinking about buying a fur jacket. I hate it when people try to push their ideals onto others.

13. Faux can look real. But, it must be from France where they make tissavel fur.
Pam McCoy makes it. I have one and people swear it's real. I got so many
people looking I felt like putting a sign up saying this is faux forks!

The faux I was wearing cost 900.00 yes they can be expensive. But, it is warm and
looks good! You never know who is wearing what. I love furbabies. So, it's faux for
me.

14. Well, both sides aren't that great. On the fur side, you have people killing animals for fashion. With the peta friendly side, you have people buying products made in sweatshops. I would like to see what the peta people have to say about their victoria's secret garments coming from sweatshops. That was some interesting news to hear on CNN. I guess it all comes down to what exactly you want to kill not to be cold.

15. How come people say when you care about animals you don't care about peolple. That just proves my point that people don't have any respect for any other life on the planet. If we were talking about babies being killed this would be a completely different argument. I am not trying to push my views on anybody I just wish people could see it for what it is...MURDER. I truly hope that whoever thinks this is ok then I hope the same thing happens to them. Being skinned alive is torture. Even eating meat is funding torture to all the animals on the factory farms. OPEN YOUR EYES and do a little research to see what you are actually supporting and eating. Watch Meet your Meat and then tell me to shut up.

I am proud to be a vegan so I will not contribute to this torture.
